They actually need another TE to line up opposite Gronk (they have really nobody besides Gronk at TE...they've been having Solder their starting LT take snaps at TE at times), yeah...but the draft pick is a 4th...considering Mankins value to the O-Line, this seems like a rare...very rare situation where another team gets the better of a trade w/ BB.
Tim Wright's in his 2nd year, last year he caught 54 passes for 571 yards 10.6 avg w/ 5 TD's.
That having been said, Wright's only slightly larger than Hernandez, he's not meant to be a tank like Gronk (6'6" ~265lbs), he's the move TE that worked so well when pairing up w/ Gronk in 2 TE sets.
I'm not sure how the O-Line's going to look now, some are suggesting that Josh Kline will be the new starter, which is really the only option since we haven't seen Stork (injury) play yet. That's crazy though, Mankins was rated 2nd behind Nate Solder in run blocking for the O-Line.
